I know it's retail, but I'm getting a touch frustrated with this one.

1. They have £30 million in cash and only worth £39 million. They should make profits of over £8 million this year.

2. There is a global brand name.

3. The Directors could buy the shares they need to take the company private with the cash the company has in the bank -Wow that would equate to a 50% rise in the share price!

We're off!

Maybe should have opened an account with IG, going well.

Is there any reason for the rise?

Not really JRM, trading statement 03/02. Other than that no idea, probably just a dead cat bounce or rumour of a bid. Good luck with it.

More buyers than sellers today. Given more reail doom in the papers there seems to be something interesting going on here!

Very positive BUY recommendation in Shares but no impact Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

I't going up now!

About time my friends!

Over 50p!

Have I missed something?

Well it was a good call JRM if Caps had been obliging would have been stopped out at the open (limit) target hit 60.0 for + 20. Hey Ho, stick in.

Hello,

Just phoned the company they said:

Full year results are planned for 14 March.  That is the only scheduled update at the moment.

Thanks.

So what's happening?

Twice as many buys as sells. Nice!

Profit taking today.

How cheated do I feel!

Still a decent profit still due, tthe cash pile should be an attraction for somebody!

Oh no what are they doing?

They've still close to £20 million in cash (SAME AS THE MARKET VALUE), an Asian growth story and an established brand.

It must be time to take this little gem off the market........

• Investors are fearing the worst ahead for French Connection’s half-year results this week, after three profit warnings already this year from the fashion retailer. In August, French Connection reported a 7pc fall in sales for the six months to July 31 and said interim operating profits will be £7m down on last year.
